- ✓20 scenes per session
- ✓Brief flash per scene
- ✓Per-element identification scoring
TRP1 — Rules & Procedures

- ✓5-minute timed reading phase
- ✓18 questions from memory

The vigilance test
Simple concept. Harder than it sounds.
A grey square sits in the centre of the screen. When it briefly turns black, press Space. For 30 minutes. Staying focused the whole time is the real challenge — just like monitoring a signal panel on a real journey.

Reviews
What candidates are saying
Real reviews from people who used Train Driver Tests to prepare for their OPC assessment.
“Great practice for the day - only fault I have with it is there are not a great deal of different images in the ATAVT test which significantly limits your practice. Good to be t a feel for the tests though. More images please as this was my only fail!!!!!”

“Overall would recommend this site if you’re preparing for or going through recruitment process. Found it similar to the actual tests and had a good bit of practice with it.”
Michael
“Definitely recommend, especially at that price point. Very similar to the actual tests!”

FAQ
Common questions
Which train companies use these tests?
The Vigilance test (WAFV) and ATAVT are part of the standard OPC test battery used by virtually all UK Train Operating Companies including Avanti West Coast, GTR, Northern, Southeastern, CrossCountry, ScotRail and more. Governed by RSSB standard RIS-3751-TOM.
Is this the same as the real test?
Our tests match the format and parameters of the real OPC assessment — 30 minutes for the Vigilance test, brief flashes for ATAVT. No practice site can replicate the exact proprietary software, but the format is calibrated to match.
What happens after I pay?
You get instant access to all four tests with unlimited attempts. Access never expires.
Do I need to do the Vigilance test in one sitting?
Yes — the real test is 30 minutes continuous. Our practice test matches this. Use the "Stop early" option to build up gradually, but aim to complete the full 30 minutes before your assessment day.
Can I get a refund?
If you're not happy with the product, get in touch within 7 days of purchase and we'll make it right — either by resolving the issue or issuing a refund. We want you to feel confident buying.
